To get this fantastic custom knife today. Friend and fellow callmaker Frank Kruer is friends with a great great talent Ed Wallace from Kentucky who makes custom knives of all types and styles. Well a few callmakers have knives built by Ed and when I saw them in Nashville I knew I had to have one, but it had to be built to fit my hands for tuning. This is a pure tuning knife and when I say it fits my specs perfectly, it simply can't be any closer. I send Ed some pictures and a cardboard cut out of what I wanted and he matched it spot on. *up* *up* Frank, a BIG thanks to you RkLu RkLu *bannana* for helping to make this deal happen and I can't wait to "dig-in" this weekend and create some shavings!! For scale purposes the bone portion is 4.5 " and the blade is 1.75" It even came with a very well made hand stiched sheath. If anyone is thinking about a custom tuning knife that will last your lifetime, you should consider one built by Ed Wallace!!

Scott you got a awesome knife right there my friend. I've been real lucky to see many of Ed's knives and all have been Top shelf stuff!! I love the tuner knife he made for myself. *up* I got to see yours in person before Frank shipped it out. You designed a dandy for sure. I must say after holding the knife, you have hands as big as catcher's mitt dude !! *peep* RkLu ROTFLMBO. All kidding aside, Ed does some awesome work and I highly recommend him for those who are looking for high quality, one of a kind custom knife. *cheers*
